All the chemical reactions were performed in low protein binding tubes (LoBind tubes, Eppendorf, Hamburg, Germany). Bicyclic PDGFβR-recognizing peptide (CSRNLIDC-GGGDGG-CSRNLIDC with C”C disulfide bonds, BiPPB, 2223 Da) [18 (link)] and peptidomimetic IFNγ (mimIFNγ, 4689 Da) modified with S-acetyl thioacetate were custom-prepared by Genosphere (Paris, France). To synthesize the construct, BiPPB (0.112 μmol) was reacted with 0.337 μmol of Maleimide-PEG-succinimidyl carboxy methyl ester (Mal-PEG-SCM, 2 KDa, Creative PEGworks, Winston-Salem, NC) for 3 h. Thereafter, excess of Mal-PEG-SCM was blocked with lysine (0.337 μmol) for 1 h. Subsequently, the prepared BiPPB-PEG-Mal was reacted overnight with mimIFNγ-ATA in the presence of deacetylating reagent (0.1M hydroxylamine, 25mM EDTA in PBS pH 7.2). The prepared mimIFNγ-PEG-BiPPB (mimγ-BiPPB [Fibroferon]) conjugate (8.9 KDa) was extensively dialyzed against PBS using 7 kDa dialysis membrane (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, IL).

K+ Nanosensor Surface Modification and Peptide Conjugation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To modify the surface of the K+ NS, Bifunctional Polyethylene Glycol (MAL-PEG-SCM, 2 kDa, Creative PEGWorks; 8 mg) was added into K+ NS in PBS (pH 7.4; 50 mg/2.5 mL). After 30 min of stirring, it was washed with PBS using an Amicon Ultra-15 Centrifugal Filter (100 kDa) and an F3 Peptide (KDEPQRRSARLSAKPAPPKPEPKP-KKAPAKKC, RS Synthesis; 22 mg) was added and stirred overnight. Cysteine (1.26 mg) was added and stirred for 2 h to deactivate unreacted maleimide groups. The nanosensor solution was washed with water (5×) then concentrated before usage. To confirm F3 conjugation onto the K+ NS, a separate batch was synthesized where the F3-peptide was preconjugated with NIR-797. The absorbance of NIR-797 was still visible after the purification.

Example 5

Mimetic IFNγ-PEG-BiPPB Conjugate:

0.111 μmol Bicyclic PDGFR recognizing peptide (BiPPB, 2223.2 Da, Genosphere Biotechnologies) was coupled with 0.337 μmol maleimide-PEG-succinimidyl carboxy methyl ester (Mal-PEG-SCM, 2 KDa, Creative PEGworks) for 3 hrs. Thereafter, lysine (0.337 μmol) was added to block free groups of Mal-PEG-SCM. After 1 hr of reaction, the synthesized product BiPPB-PEG-MAL (0.112 μmol) was reacted with 0.56 μmol of Mimetic IFNγ-ATA (4689 Da, Genosphere Biotechnologies) in the presence of deacetylating reagent for overnight at room temperature. Finally, the synthesized Mimetic IFNγ-PEG-BiPPB conjugate (8828.2 Da) was extensively dialyzed against PBS using 7 KDa slide-a-lyzer G2 dialysis cassettes (Thermo scientific).

Mimetic IFNγ-PEG Conjugate.

0.107 μmol Mimetic IFNγ-ATA (4689 Da) was reacted with 0.321 μmol of Poly (ethylene glycol)-succinimidyl α-methylbutanoate (mPEG-SMB, 2 KDa, Nektar therapeutics) for 2 hrs and subsequently the product was dialyzed extensively.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
